jIfLASS HIS Q Surely September 1947 was a propitious month. 'This date marked both the first anniversary of peace in the world and the advent of the 1951 graduates into high school. Our class at this time numbered sixty-four, the largest ever to be en- rolled at 0.H.S. Immediately this group spread like locusts to take part in all of the activities of the school, with Mrs. Nelson's and Miss Talbert's ardent help. September 1948 marked a pretentious year for fifty-four students. With the extraordinary assistance of Miss Hanlon and Mn Williams, we enJoyed many activities. We survived all the growing pains and major disasters attendant on being sophomores. Our chief reason for survival was the goal soon to be reached--the much more mature and socially acceptable Junior class. Our entry into the Junior class was marked by storm and stress, for we soon discovered that the true pinnacle of life in 0.H.S. was to be achieved only in the senior class. With Mr. Olness and Miss Peterson as our advisors we carried out the heavy work of the school, starting with our class day 'Junior Prom,' which was a very good play. It was enjoyed under adverse conditions--the curtain was raised! Probably the biggest event of the year was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, with a theme centered around a southern plantation. A class of forty-nine proud students entered the halls of 0.H.S. for the last time in 1951. Although those before us have had senior class plays, skip days, and other important events, we have decided that the 1951 grads will have even better events. Our class will scatter, maybe some of them never coming back to Onamia. Many of them will go into the armed forces or war work, but whatever our destination, surely no class has had a better beginning than the senior class of 1951. Hay the class of '51 make history for themselves, and the school which gave it a start. S a L.,
